The falling value of sterling is having a significant impact on our industry, as anyone who regularly buys kit recently will know only too well. At the time of writing, the value of [...]

TV has got good. Really good. Not all of it of course, but two pieces of TV I’ve seen recently have been truly stunning. My daughter is 10. There isn’t much that we can both watch and enjoy. Thankfully she thinks as much of Honey G as I do, and there is only so much [...]

They're first to market with a studio [...]
